Design and Implementation of Physical Aware Synthesis for Processor Core Application

Navaneeth Krishna L S, Jeeru Dinesh Reddy

Abstract: The predominant influence of physical synthesis lies in fostering a streamlined, anticipatable design flow, minimizing the necessity for rework and corrections as the design transitions seamlessly from the front - end to the back - end and ultimately reaches tape - out. This coherent design flow not only accelerates the time - to - market for the chip but also enhances its overall quality. The expeditious time - to - market can significantly bolster the lifetime revenue of advanced design projects by establishing an early market lead, potentially capturing a larger market share. Concurrently, heightened product quality can yield comparable advantages. In a physical synthesis design flow, an initial floorplan is established to provide placement information, accompanied by estimates of routing requirements derived from this floorplan. Cutting - edge design flows employ signoff - quality tools for these preliminary phases, maintaining consistency through the utilization of a unified data model shared among all tools in the workflow.
